What this trial studies

This Phase 1 study investigates the safety and effectiveness of JZP898, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with pembrolizumab, for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is divided into two parts: Part A focuses on determining the appropriate dosages and safety profile of JZP898, while Part B evaluates its clinical activity when combined with pembrolizumab. Participants will be closely monitored for pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have previously received anticancer therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with solid tumors for whom there are effective standard of care treatments available may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies exploring similar combinations of immunotherapy and targeted treatments have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
